The judgment of the court below is reversed.

Defendant shall be punished by a fine of KRW 2,000,000.

The above fine shall not be paid by the defendant.

Reasons

1. The lower court’s sentence (3 million won in penalty) against the Defendant as to the summary of the grounds for appeal is deemed unreasonable.

Therefore, the judgment of the court below is reversed pursuant to Article 364 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Act without examining the prosecutor's above unfair argument of sentencing, and the judgment of the court below is reversed, and it is again decided as follows after pleading.
